Totally new one to my eyes... It's kinda nice, that one still finds "new old" games, that one has not seen before :D

The arcade original looks like it might be fun once the controls are mastered. The music is catchy.

My first c64 actually came bundled with a compilation that included this in 1987, and honestly it was a pretty decent introduction to c64 gaming that, frankly, left my expectations was too high

Another one I hadn't heard of until this video.

The controls are initially complicated but you'll get the rhythm down and both middle fingers to most of the micro versions.

Never seen this one before. From the thumbnail I did think it was crazy climber for a second.

Fire Trap's an odd yet fun one. Wood Place was an enigma in the 80's arcade game world with these games. Most were derivative like this and then they made MFing Ring King

C+VG magazine annouced an Atari ST version was planned, don't think anything was ever started on it.

The game over screen on the Spectrum cracked me up, I must admit. Maybe because he makes a fart sound when he crashes through the floor.

That was a nice find! I never saw any of these!

When I was young I played this on C64. It was quite addictive :)

Never seen this one before. As a big Crazy Climber fan I look forward to checking it out. PS - great theme music; you should use it in lots of videos.

Wow, no idea this game even exists, let alone who published it lol. It does look quite nice even if its as tricky to control as you say. Thanks for the insight into a real hidden gem (of sorts) 😎👍

I wonder if who ever did the 2600 Spider-Man game seen/played this. . Id of olyed this just cause of the novelty

This was quite the surprise. I love Crazy Climber so if I would have ever discovered this one back then I would've spent a bevy of quarters/tokens on it. The C64 port really does look good. A real shame about the others two though. Especially the Amstrad one. They really phoned that one in.

That electric dreams logo reminds me of the logo from that Michael Jackson film captain EO.

Definitely in the obscurity.

A lot of others apparently never saw this one either. Interesting game, at least the arcade original looks good. I used to love trying arcade games with weird control schemes... not that I would continue loving them, but I was often fascinated with something different.

Hmmm. Welp, looks like Mark caught me with a title I never heard before. But I do have to say it looks really nice bro. I like it. 8^) Anthony..

One good thing about Speccy and Amstrad version, more realistic skyscraper :)

"The ZX Spectrum port...It's total shite!" Tell me how you really feel.....🤣

It seems like video games about fire fighters are more common than I thoughts.

Retro Core. Please do Populous or Theme Park. I really want to show people how calamitous the SNEZ hardware really is. Re. Firetrap; one of my favourite clothing brands.

Very cool. I never seen this at all in the day on any 8 bit releases. Do you know if it was a disc only release or was there large box cassettes of this? I presume cassette? Many thanks for the vid Cheers

Yes, it probably is a bit of a pain to play, I've always struggled with Crazy Climber. I do really like the bizarre, irregular tower blocks though, it's like the architect only works when he's under the influence which makes me want to give this try.

I wish someone would homebrew this to the NES because I think it actually enjoyable... Arcade one would be the best for me

Well, this certainly is... something. For 1986 it looks (visuals) very good. But, what kind of laws of physics are in this world and what is really happening? Firefighter is literally fighting fire by... discharging, not water or extinguisher, but firearm (judging by the sound effect)!🤨 Also, from objects that is coming down onto our firefighter, it is obvious that the building's resident that they really don't want to be saved!😳

I seriously doubt the load bearing ability of these skyscrapers what with the huge gaps in the floors. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Weird but funny game 😅 speaking about climbers, have you already covered Squish'Em Sam? I had a lot of fun with that on c64, there are 3-4 ports of that

You know I always wondering the reason why there many "Climbing" game back then coz the developer want to show off how smooth is vertical scrolling in their game and hardware.

Interesting game, I'm also confused by this type of control. Also, when you need dual joysticks and a button, it makes it even harder for you to have proper similar arcade controls at home. I wonder if that saturn virtuaon twinstick on a mayflash adapter will work. I got one in Japan back in 2018, I guess that might emulate the arcade controls. And I guess there are a few other games on mame that have twin sticks plus buttons to use it if it works!

Like Crazy Climber and Karate Champ, this game will be played with the PlayStation-style controller with two analog sticks if you want to play it on MAME...

I can see why people sometimes confuse it for a Data East title. Even without looking at the names, it sounds very close to one

Wasted my weekly allowance more than once on this game😁

I need a Battle of the Ports: Donkey Kong Jr

this looks like a lot of fun...IF..the controls were improved.

Was there any sort of quality control that games on the Amiga, ST, C64, Speccy and especially CPC needed to go through? The fact a game like the CPC port was allowed to release and be sold for profit is bonkers. I also hear a lot of these crappy arcade ports would use fake screenshots which is straight up false advertising. Obviously, laws to counter this type of stuff existed in the states, but it doesn't seem such a thing existed in Europe, at least not at the time. Were there ever laws passed on the quality control of games and what not, because it just blows my mind that Fire Trap on the freaking Amstrad CPC was allowed on store shelves and sold for real money.

Very obscure game, never heard of it! Edit: "the Spectrum controls a super laggy" isn't that true for most Spectrum games (yet I loved my Speccy)?

RIP Amstrad users💀💀☠☠

I doubt a lot of internet commentators understand the difference between developers and publishers... even if you explain it to them...

never saw this but btw, i was suppose to saw an battle of the ports of the original Mega Man from Capcom

How to reset 6x psp clone

Could you add the Atari Return of the Jedi arcade fame to your list? Thanks en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Return_of_the_Jedi_(video_game)

That CPC version looks like a lazy port of a pre-release/beta version of the Speccy game to me. A candidate for the laziest port ever/seriously limited time to get it out the door?

What a shitty port for my beloved CPC! 🙈🙉🙊

When the Spectrum port is trash and the Amstrad version is based on it, you know it's going to be a whole new level of garbage.
